Demon
Unleashing Inner Demons: The Wombats' Battle with Darkness
Lyrics
There's a demon inside of me
Expressing the presence of internal struggles or personal issues.
And there's nowhere left to run this time
Feeling trapped or facing a situation with no escape.
Got me singing from the wrong hymn sheet
Engaged in activities or behaviors contrary to expectations or norms.
Got me cooking with a pocket knife
Engaging in risky or unconventional actions, using a pocket knife metaphorically.
There's a demon inside of me
Reiterating the internal struggle and its impact on behavior.
And he's drinking on the job again
Describing self-destructive behavior, possibly related to substance abuse.
Lost his wallet and lost his keys
Highlighting the consequences of the internal demon, such as losing possessions.
Then threw the bottle at his best friend's head
Describing violent actions, like throwing a bottle at a friend during a conflict.
Stay close, don't leave
Requesting emotional support and companionship despite personal flaws.
I'll let you trick me with another lie
Acknowledging vulnerability and susceptibility to deception.
I'll play along, I won't cheat
Willingness to go along with falsehoods to maintain a certain lifestyle.
I don't wanna live a quiet life
Rejecting a mundane or ordinary life, preferring excitement or chaos.
I don't wanna live a quiet life
Emphasizing the aversion to a quiet and uneventful existence.
There's a demon inside of me
Reiterating the internal struggle and its desire for more challenges.
And he's itching for another scratch
Expressing a craving for additional stimulation or excitement.
Temper tantrums in the street
Describing disruptive and aggressive behavior in public spaces.
I saw him skipping through the tear gas
Witnessing or experiencing confrontations, possibly related to protests or conflicts.
Stay close, don't leave
Repeating the plea for emotional closeness and support.
I'll let you trick me with another lie
Acceptance of potential deception, highlighting a willingness to endure for connection.
I'll play along, I won't cheat
Commitment to playing along with situations, avoiding dishonesty.
I don't wanna live a quiet life
Reiteration of the rejection of a quiet and uneventful life.
Oh, stick around with me
Inviting someone to stay and offering a deep connection through eye contact.
Let me sink into your burning eyes
Describing the intensity of the connection through the metaphor of burning eyes.
It's so hard to lose a missing piece
Expressing the difficulty of coping with the absence of a crucial aspect.
I don't wanna live a quiet life
Reiterating the rejection of a quiet and uneventful life.
I don't wanna live a quiet life
Continuing the rejection of a mundane and ordinary lifestyle.
I don't wanna live a quiet life
Reiteration of the rejection of a quiet and uneventful life.
There's a demon inside of me
Repeating the presence of the internal demon and the lack of escape.
And there's nowhere left to run this time
Reiterating the feeling of being trapped with no apparent solution.
